湖南省岳阳市2019年中考英语试卷
Dear Miss Zhao,
Thank you for introducing the summer camp program to me. This program is organized by Yueyang Education and Sports Bureau (岳阳市教体局). It has brought over 500 middle school students to the countryside to experience the life here.
We have been in this small village for six days. Every morning we get up early, breathe the fresh air and hear the birds sing in the woods. 我们一走出房子,就可以看到花、草、树木和动物。 We go for walks through the countryside and watch the villagers do their daily activities.
Li Guoqing, a sixty-year-old villager says, "Thanks to the government, great changes have taken place in the countryside. People mustn't cut down trees or build houses on the farmland (农田). Anyone is not allowed to make our rivers or lakes dirty. All villagers are supposed to put rubbish in the bin."
We really enjoy the trip and come to realize the importance of protecting the environment. 每个人都应该参与保护环境。 If the environment is taken good care of, we'll have a cleaner and greener world. The clean water and green mountains are our treasures.
Yours truly,
He Wei

In March 2016, a group of people walked into a theater in New Mexico, USA to watch the movie Finding Nemo. The movie first hit the big screen in 2003 and it was a great success. Now it came back! What was special about it this time? It was dubbed(配音) in Navajo. That's the language spoken by the Navajo, one of the biggest Native American tribes(美国土著部落). This movie wasn't made just for fun, though. It was made to save a dying language.
The number of people who speak Navajo is dropping. In 20 14, only about 164, 000 people spoke it at home. That was down from about 173, 000 in 2005.
Like many other Native American languages, Navajo has been in trouble for a long time. In the 1800s, thousands of Native American kids were forced to attend boarding schools. They were allowed to speak only English there. Over the years, fewer people learned their native languages. Some of these languages have been lost forever.
Today, many Navajo kids aren't good at speaking Navajo. Some people worry that if today's kids don't learn Navajo and pass it down, the language could disappear.
